It's a micro-B receptacle on N900, while CA-157 has a micro-A plug fitting the micro-AB receptacle of the device it ships with. All pretty much in line with standards for USB. You'll find this info if only you look a bit - e.g. there: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=364

N900 isn't meant to do USB hostmode so it got a micro-B receptacle, not a micro-AB
